Downloading Koha

Getting Started

LibLime Koha and LLEK are developed in Perl, with embedded Javascripts and HTML templates. Both applications use Debian as the operating system, the Apache HTTP server, and MySQL as the underlying relational database. When installing Debian, select MySQL as your RDBMS server – our download includes the database schema necessary to support version selected. Specific installation instructions are included in the download package.

You should also have root access to the server, you should have a reasonable level of comfort working with Linux at the command line level, and a general understanding of database structure will also help.

Hosting and Support:

• No need for server management or IT resources in the Library;
• Backups, upgrades, bug fixes, server management - all done by LibLime;
• Every Library enjoys multiple Koha instances – one each for production, testing and reporting. Libraries can train staff, try new features and run resource intensive reports without impacting the production environment;
• Customer Support Center with Web Portal interface for placing new requests, tracking existing requests, and researching FAQs.

Development:

• Perl, Java, Javascript, and HTML programmers on staff to enhance existing Koha functionality, or to create new features;
• Creation of design specifications with our customers to map the requirements with existing Koha workflows;
• DBAs and system administrators who support the development team with hardware and database experience.
